The Han River is leisurely, heading southeast.

"The water of the waves, I met you here again." Facing the scorching river wind, Su Liuyi looked at the Han Shui in front of him and couldn't help but sigh softly. Last time, he and Ye Yingwu made a lone bet to lead thousands of dead soldiers to drive for a hundred miles, and finally caught up with Ah Shu, who was frightened back by Ye Yingwu, on the bank of the Han River, and the army covered up and killed, achieving the prestige of the Tianwu Army at the moment.

Today, Ye Yingwu ventured to the west alone, entrusted the Tianwu Army to Su Liuyi, and once again came to the bank of the Han River.

The left wing guards the mountain pass outside Macheng, the right wing guards Huangzhou, and the Chinese army has also advanced to more than ten miles south of Macheng, and Su Liuyi led the front compartment of the Tianwu army. Compared with the original plan, the Tianwu army at this time was more forward, no longer relying on the city to put on a defensive posture, but holding the various passes and attacking the flanks of Ashu at any time.

Large and small warships have appeared at the junction of water and sky, white sails blowing in the wind, and red flags flying at the top of the mast.

A few fast horses drove along the smooth bank of the Han River, and the leader was the commander of the Tianwu Army in front of the command, Jiang Hao, this guy has always been impatient, and when he saw a fleet appearing, he hurriedly rushed over with a few personal guards, anyway, there is Su Liuyi here, and he is not afraid of any chaos at this time.

Ye Yingwu is the shopkeeper, Jiang Hao, the hand-shaker also makes Su Liuyi cry and laugh, but thinking about his original character, it is not difficult to understand.

The horses stood up, Jiang Hao jumped off the horse, and said with a smile: "General Su, the person who came is the two Huaishui divisions, whether the front carriage of the Tianwu Army directly crosses the Han River or puts up a posture here, now it depends on how General Su decides." ”

"Whose flag?" Su Liuyi frowned slightly, there were not many ships from the two Huai Shui Divisions, and the three building ships with seven or eight medium-sized warships were covering more than ten large and small troop carriers, and it seemed that there were no small ships such as Meng Chong from a distance, and there was no intention of fighting at all. I don't know if Zhang Shijie misunderstood what he meant, or did he think that the few remaining sailors in Mongolia above the Han River would not pose much of a threat at all?

At this time, the most important thing to guard against is to underestimate the enemy.

Jiang Hao was stunned, he didn't expect Su Liuyi to open his mouth to ask this question, and only after hesitating for a moment did he say: "The banner is 'Xia', I think it should be General Xia, the deputy commander of the two Huaishui Divisions." ”

"Isn't it Zhang Dutong?" Su Liuyi didn't expect that the whole army of the Tianwu Army had already pressed up, and the two Huaishui divisions only let the deputy commanders come, you must know that when the Hanshui intercepted at that time, Zhang Shijie and Xia Song, the two main and deputy commanders, plus Fan Wenhu, the half-hung deputy envoy of the Yangtze River, and even Cheng Yuanfeng, the supervising army, almost all the people with weight in the entire two Huaishui divisions came out, what happened this time.

This style of acting is not quite like Zhang Shijie's style no matter how you look at it.

After hesitating, the warship was getting closer and closer, and standing on the bow of the ship in armor was very powerful, it was Xia Song, the deputy commander of the two Huaishui divisions, who had had several faces.

The displeased look on Su Liuyi's face swept away, replaced by a warm smile. And Jiang Hao, who was standing beside Su Liuyi, subconsciously shuddered, and he didn't know why, but gradually these generals of the Tianwu Army looked at the deputy commander of the capital, and they all had the illusion that Ye Yingwu was second, and they couldn't remember when, the corner of the mouth of this General Su, the smile of Ye Zhijun also began to appear.

Ill-intentioned, but people can't see it. Near Zhu is red, close to ink is black, the ancients did not deceive me, Jiang Hao muttered secretly in his heart, but he didn't notice that in fact, Su Liuyi was fine, and Ye Yingwu cared about and was close, how could he be less Jiang Hao.

The warship stopped in the center of the river, and immediately a small boat was released from the boat, and Xia Song and several personal soldiers had already appeared in front of Su Liuyi's eyes in a few moments. It's just that this young general, who was in high spirits the last time he saw it, had a tired look on his face at this time, and was even a little haggard, compared with the high-spirited northward momentum of the Tianwu Army, it was indeed a heaven and an underground.

"General Xia," Su Liuyi shouted first, "As soon as we say goodbye that day, we will meet here again, and it can be regarded as you and I have a fate." ”

Xia Song hurriedly took two steps forward, and the etiquette he should have was perfect: "General Su, I am fortunate to be able to continue to kill the enemy side by side with General Su and the Tianwu Army this time, and it is also the honor of Xia and his subordinates." ”

Still just a faint smile, Su Liuyi waved his hand, and the smile on his face also dissipated, replaced by the same cold and serious as always: "I want to know, can these ships under General Xia's command guarantee that the entire Tianwu army can be withdrawn from the north shore to the south bank within half an hour, and can it be guaranteed to completely suppress the Mongolian sailors?" ”

Su Liuyi's sudden throwing over a few questions made Xia Song stunned, and then the young general couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "General Su, let's take a step to speak." ”

Nodding slightly, Su Liu Yi couldn't deny it. Jiang Hao and the others glanced at each other and silently took a few steps back. However, Su Liuyi and Xia Song still walked along the river bank to the small mountain peak not far away, and at the beginning of this Han River, it was the red flags that suddenly appeared on the top of this continuous hill, which completely collapsed the morale of the Ashu army.

It wasn't until the camp tent and fleet behind him were getting farther and farther away that Xia Song said softly: "General Su, this is already almost all the strength that can be used by the entire two Huaishui divisions, and a certain general knows that these forces are too small, and they are not even as good as the last Hanshui battle, but ······"

Looking at Xia Song's tightly locked brows, Su Liuyi was stunned: "What's wrong with the two Huai Shui Divisions?" ”

With a wry smile, Xia Song said: "Ye Yuanjun five hundred light horses to the west, this matter is also known to the general, just in case and also to meet the Tianwu army, Zhang Dutong personally led three building ships and more than ten warships to the west, to take cover, and at this empty time, Fan Wenhu, who had been stopped for a long time after the Han Shui incident, didn't know why he suddenly jumped out, and then even encouraged several generals of the two Huai Shui Divisions, the large ships are okay, most of the small warships have stopped obeying orders, these ships, It's already the last general to do his best. ”

Fan Wenhu is a victory if he doesn't pee his pants in a foreign war, but he is a rare good hand when he tosses his own people, and he doesn't know how Jia Rudao dug out this talent, and now he suddenly jumped out, naturally caught Xia Song off guard, plus he was originally the deputy envoy of the system along the river, and it stands to reason that it is normal to lead the two Huaishui divisions.

Su Liuyi, who suffered a big loss in the battle of jute, smiled coldly, and the cold murderous aura that the battlefield veteran had honed spontaneously appeared. Looking at the mighty flowing water in front of him, as well as the banner of the Tianwu Army waving in the wind on his side, Su Liuyi gritted his teeth.

I didn't expect Ye Yingwu to be there, and he and Xia Song had nothing to do with Fan Wenhu, but if this continued, not only would the Tianwu Army be trapped on the south bank of the Han River, and it would be difficult to attract Ah Shu's attention, but even after Xia Song and Zhang Shijie went back, they would find that they didn't know when the two Huai Shui Divisions were already surnamed "Fan" or "Jia"!

"This Fan Wenhu is a good means." Su Liu Yi suddenly turned around and walked straight towards the somewhat simple camp of the Tianwu Army.

Feeling the raging fire in the eyes of this general, who was only thirty years old, Xia Song hurriedly stepped forward to catch up with him: "General Su, don't be rash at this time, no matter how Fan Wenhu makes trouble, after all, he is Shangguan, you and I can't do anything to him, not to mention behind this Fan Wenhu, but there is still ······"

"What about the others?" Su Liu Yi smiled coldly, but his steps did slow down a little, behind Xia Song was his father Xia Gui, at this time Xia Gui was guarding Beichuan, and he had a lot of troops, and the court also trusted him, Rao is so, Xia Song is still very worried.

And what about him Su Liuyi? There are no relatives who have the right to do something, if you really talk about it, I am afraid that there is only this enthusiasm to serve the country. After fighting for so long as cannon fodder in Huaishang, how many brothers went forward and fell on the battlefield with blood-stained red flags and the prestige of the "Anji Army", and in the end, it was just a holy decree that Jia Rudao pretended to entrust the official family to cancel.

If what happened to Fan Wenhu, he was just a small deputy commander, how could he be easily let go by the powerful Jia Xianggong? I'm afraid that this time I will be thankful that I will retreat with my whole body. And by his side, as well as his family, as well as his father and mother, the Su family, which has been passed down all the way from Dongpo Gong, is afraid that it will suffer a catastrophe!

Song doesn't kill the doctor, but he Su Liu Yi is a military general who fights on the battlefield.

Su Liuyi finally stopped, and looked at the flying flags in front of him in a daze. Is it true that he is just standing on the south bank of the Han River and shouting over there, what is the difference between this and a barking but useless vicious dog, don't think that the blood-stained Ashu will be frightened by the 20,000-strong Tianwu army and dare not move!

Isn't this the best of Ye Yingwu and the five hundred battles sent to Liu Cheng and Ah Shu's bloody mouths. The Tianwu army can't play a role in containment, and the Lu family brothers and the 150,000 army who have been closed to the city can't be counted on.

Then he Su Liu Yi, what kind of face does he have to face the Tianwu Army and the fathers and elders of the land of Jiangxi?

Xia Song vaguely guessed that Su Liuyi was fighting between heaven and man at this time, and he was also standing behind him with his mouth pursed, and he didn't dare to take a breath.

A few fast horses galloped from afar with smoke and dust, Su Liuyi and Xia Song were stunned, at this time, a herald came to report the news, and it was not a trivial matter. The two glanced at each other, and they both saw the caution in each other's eyes, and hurriedly returned to the Chinese army.

And by the time the two walked back, the herald had just arrived, and Jiang Hao and the others all had puzzled looks on their faces. Su Liuyi took a breath softly: "What's the matter?" ”

The look of urgency and exhaustion on the herald's face was pervasive, but his movements were still strong and powerful: "General Qiqi Su, Macheng urgently, the Ashu army is approaching the north bank of the Han River today, and there is a great posture of crossing the Han River to surround Xiangyang, General Wang and General Zhang asked if it is necessary to raise troops to the north to prepare for defense in advance?" ”

"What else?" Su Liuyi frowned and looked at several heralds. Although this news was shocking, it had not yet reached the point where four or five heralds had arrived, and there must have been other news.

Sure enough, another herald immediately took out a letter from his arms, the fire paint was complete, it was Ye Yingwu's handwritten letter. Su Liuyi was stunned, hurriedly took the envelope, and tore the envelope straight open, regardless of the fire paint.

Pale yellow letter paper, blood-red text, accompanied by a faint smell of fishy smell and dust.

Looking at the short line of words on the letterhead, Su Liuyi breathed a sigh of relief. will be outside, and the monarch's decree will not be affected. Ye Yingwu let go completely this time, but he was suspicious before. But these are trivial things, and now it is the mighty water in front of you that is pressing on your shoulders, and it is on both sides of this Han River that the Song army and the Mongolian army have already opened their posture.

And the life and death of the 20,000 people of the Tianwu Army have already fallen on Su Liuyi's shoulders. Ye Yingwu's hand-shaking shopkeeper is very comfortable!

"The front compartment of the Tianwu Army is facing Hanshui on alert, don't act rashly!" Su Liuyi already had a vague plan in his heart at the moment, not to mention that there was no time for him to think carefully now.

Jiang Hao was slightly stunned, and when he saw Su Liuyi with a solemn face, he nodded violently, this is not the time to refute.

"Quickly ordered the left wing of the Tianwu Army, and went twenty miles north to find a dangerous place to set up camp; The right wing of the Tianwu army was ordered, and the left wing was ten miles apart and encamped; Ordered the Tianwu Army to be sure to hold Macheng! Su Liuyi's order was issued like a cannon, and the herald who was already on standby on one side didn't even have time to shout "obey", and hurriedly stepped on his horse and drove away into the distance.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Liuyi continued: "At the same time, send someone to return to Xing** and tell Lu Tongju that at this time, it has reached the critical moment when the Great Song and Mongolian wars are about to break out, and no one can relax." The land of Xing** Three Counties can only be relied on by the rear of the Tianwu Army, even if something happens ahead, it cannot be dispatched! ”

Before the words fell, Su Liuyi's eyes had already turned to the south. Lu Tongju, Lu Xiufu, a certain entrusting the back of the Tianwu Army to you, is also equivalent to entrusting the entire back of the Tianwu Army to you, if the Tianwu Army can return safely, then thank God, if something happens, then the back compartment is the fire of the Tianwu Army, as long as the flame is still burning, one day it can form a prairie fire!

As long as the land of Xing** three counties is guarded, then the entire Gansu and the entire Jiangnan West Road will be safe, otherwise it will really be a catastrophe, and the economic and trade of the Jiangnan West Road that has just been restored and the grain that is thriving will be destroyed.

Lu Xiufu, the rear depends on you. And ahead, on the shore of this rippling water, a certain general will do his best to lead the Tianwu Army to contain Ah Shu. And the envoy, I hope you can get your wish, come back alive and peaceful, and we will triumph together.

———————————————————————————

The icy night wind whistled by.

The mighty river rolls below. Ye Yingwu sat on the rocky beach by the river, quietly looking at the stars in the sky, the stars were shining. The warships were arranged slightly densely on the wide river in front of him, after all, this is the lifeblood of the Great Song Dynasty and now Sichuan, Shu and Jinghu, and the entire river cannot be blocked.

The white sails have been put away, only the red flags are hunting and dancing in the wind, and with the help of the dim moonlight, you can faintly see the word "Song" on it. After meeting the elite of the two Huai Shui divisions led by Zhang Shijie outside Kuimen, Ye Yingwu had no need to hide anything, and the entire fleet set out a clear flag and headed west along the river.

And tonight is to stop at a river beach, a day in a row to go upstream, although the wind, but after all, it will be a lot of difficulty, plus this is the first time that the two Huai sailors entered Shu, so Zhang Shijie did not dare to sail in the middle of the night, in case of any accident, it is really a failure, as a cautious and serious person, this is not in line with Zhang Shijie's character.

There were very few people on the river beach, except for Ye Yuanjun, who was sitting there alone, only Yang Xu and more than a dozen Tianwu soldiers were guarding from afar, and several warships on the river had been aiming their bows and crossbows at the woods and cliffs around Ye Yingwu just in case.

Since the embarrassing incident that happened in the creek in the deserted village outside Ezhou, Yang Xu and Ye Yingwu didn't say a word for a long time, just buried their heads in their own things. Yang Bao and Jiang Tie were already tired from guarding the surroundings for several days, so Ye Yingwu sent the two of them away to rest, so as the capital of the six doors and the Jinyi Guard, Yang Xu had to stand up and make a cameo appearance as a bodyguard, but this was not the first or two cameos.

Looking down at the letter that had just been delivered today in his hand, Ye Yingwu still continued to look into the distance in a daze. This was sent by Su Liuyi from Macheng, and Lu Xiufu's was a few hours earlier than this, and of course the six doors of Xiangyang were earlier.

After being silent for so long, Ah Shu finally moved, but this time it was a little unbelievable, in the case of the loss of the Mongolian sailors, this resourceful general who turned to the north and south actually let go of Fancheng and put on a posture of crossing the river to encircle Xiangyang, but he didn't know why. You must know that in real history, Ah Shu will not do such a move until next year.

In the second year of Xianchun, in 1266 AD, the battle lines of the two sides were basically in a stable state, except for the battle of Huangzhou that Ye Yingwu had rewritten the ending, and the battle of Dongchuan that the Mongol army was about to move and had not yet begun.

Move now, isn't Ah Shu a little too anxious? Ye Yingwu secretly thought in his heart, you must know that the army in the hands of Ah Shu at this time is comparable to the Song army in Xiangyang City, and there are even many defeated troops in Shandong, and the combat effectiveness can be imagined.

Or is this just a temptation?!

Looking at the starry sky, Ye Yingwu was silent.
